The train was subsequently taken out of service and the conductor was taken to receive medical attention.

Over the past three days, bedbugs have been spotted on the N, Q and No. 6 lines.

The bloodsuckers have been hitching rides on the subway system for several weeks. Back in early August, two N line trains were taken out of service to be fumigated after riders and subway staff started spotting bedbugs.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority told the New York Daily News earlier this month that the “subway system has 5.5 million riders every single day and we can’t check all of them for bedbugs before letting them on the train.”

However, authorities have been making spot checks of crew cabins out of an “abundance of precaution.”
